| Abstract/Contents: | "Biological controls ("biological pesticides") can be developed and used as a regular pesticide by determining the pathogens of target insect pests. The process includes discovering the pathogen, producing the pathogen, testing in small plots, testing in large production scale, and marketing the new product. The collection of pathogens involves looking at native populations of target pests or closely related insects for naturally occurring diseases or finding new forms of pathogens from soil and dust samples taken worldwide. Screening of new biological controls uses a uniform age-class of insects, therefore, field testing will result in more accurate efficacy results of the new controls. Biological pesticides are difficult to compare to a chemical standard because biological pesticides work much slower, over weeks or into the next season, but can be progressively more lethal over time. A case study on entomopathogenic nematodes, S. carpocapsae, S. scapterisci, and S. riobravos is highlighted." |
